i was just commenting in general. it just seems like if anyone ever says anything, whether it's a joke or not, the general reaction is the same
I personally didn't get the joke.
I think he has done some great work on certain products and he was way ahead of his time in modifying a lot of things. I don't think too many people would argue that. I don't always agree with his assessment of things (like the sound of certain pre-amps), but there I think we can always argue. I like you though find it interesting that if Doug said two cups and string sounded awesome and his opinion nothing could come close to the way they sounded, you'd have folks buying cups and strings and then saying exactly the same thing.
It's like his ** opinion ** supersedes people's own listening judgement.
That said, I don't want this to be a Doug bashing free for all. If people want to bash an individual, take it to his site where he can defend himself (and honestly there has NEVER been anything constructive that has come out of bashing people). We bash each other here, but I think most of us are thick skinned and most of the time it's done in jest.
Anyhow, I have a great deal of respect for the man and we all should for the contributions he and his company have made to the taping community.
